nChlorhexidine

nChlorhexidine has chlorhexidine encapsulated in moisturizing nanoparticles for incorporation into topical veterinary products. Scientific studies prove that chlorhexidine nanoencapsulation increases the absorption of the drug in the stratum corneum, in addition to allowing a sustained release resulting in a longer lasting action when compared to free chlorhexidine. The superior action of nanoencapsulated chlorhexidine is related to the increased delivery of the drug due to the prolonged contact of the nanocarrier system with the bacteria of the skin and follicles. Chlorhexidine is widely used in topical veterinary products with antimicrobial action, and is indicated in the treatment of skin conditions caused by fungi and bacteria. Applications: shampoos, lotions, sprays and ear solutions.

Recommended Use: External Veterinary Use. Shampoos, lotions, sprays and ear solutions (0.05 – 20%).
